I'd offer to sit back there with you, but I'm afraid that I might be accused of flirting.

I'll be sure to put some plastic down in my trunk so it don't get all sticky.

Thanx, but you and your foot can sit up front!

Yes, I usually do take my foot with me wherever I go.

Got kind of attached to it, huh?

Rather. I feel like it's a part of me.

I feel the same about my hand.

That's why you should use the left one. It feels like someone elses.

Yeah, but then my right one gets jealous.

You have to spread yourself around, SC.

You can't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing.

I usually don't but I think my pinky gave it away... he fingered me (to the left hand) for the price of a cheap ring.

There's just too much to work with here!

Thats funny... thats what my hand always says.

The extended weather forecast for next Saturday looks perfect... sunny around 80°!

It's perfect for us. Just perfect. (Apologies to Abe Vigoda).

If Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes, does that mean he's intimate with Abe Vigoda and his wife?

Do they seal it with a kiss?

Dunno if its worse to be kissed by Tessio or Luca Brasi. Luca is scary enough, but I hear Tessio slips in some tongue.

A kiss from a fish is golden. (Ughh, sorry, still early in the morning).

Maybe Luca would have let him off the hook, for old times sake.

IMPORTANT!

I just called the restaurant where we'll be having dinner Saturday Night. They were very nice. The only available slot for a group our size close to 7pm is 6:15PM.

With a group that large, though, she said we had to order from the prix-fixe menu -- but -- we can customize the menu if we want. It probably would be easier that way in the long run, where everyone pays the same amount, so I'm okay with it. Problem is, we now gotta get everyone to agree on a menu.

The paella is on Menu #2 ($45/pp+) and Menu #3 ($50/pp) -- that's the dish many of us wanted I believe. Everyone else should look over Menu #3 and see if there's something there you'd like. We can substitute other dishes (if some others aren't popular) but we gotta do this rather quickly. She'd like to get the menu tomorrow if possible!

So basically I'm asking people to tell me what they want to eat next Saturday Night -- "now" So tell me please if Menu #3 is okay with you -- if not, which entree you'd prefer from another of the menus...

P.S. Keep in mind that substituting dishes may effect the per-person cost. In addition, 18% Gratuity and Tax Not Included


And please let's keep the chit-chat to a minimum in this thread until we're all set with the menu... I just don't wanna miss anything. Thanks!!!

#2 looks good to me.

Menu 2 looks great because it has both Paella and Skirt Steak.

Will look over the other appetizers and such later.

Fuck her and the horse she rode under.... we gotta pick NOW because its more convenient for HER????

Excuse me, lady, take my money but don't allow me to pick from a full menu because I came here with a lot of my friends?? Oh sure, I don't mind! Teee heee heee.



This is sounding a LOT like the Frozen Cheesecake Palace!

Ummm.... bad mood today? You just need to agree on Menu #2, not pick the exact dish unless you have a problem with that menu.

P.S. Not for nothin', but they do have to plan on up to about 18 people in addition to the rest of the dinner service... I don't find it that unreasonable. But it is pushed up a day or two cuz she's going on vacation later in the week... I would not compare this to that other piece of shit restaurant, tho...

P.P.S. I was hoping to call sooner than today, but so many if's, and's and butt's We were hoping to be able to order from the regular menu, but she said that they didn't want service/food to suffer. They wanted everyone to be happy with their meals (as long as we can agree on a menu)... She was VERY nice, btw.

P.P.P.S. Menu #3 is only $5/pp more if that interests anyone as well... it includes another app, a different steak, replaces the pork loin with a chicken dish, and adds lobster to the paella. But perhaps I shouldn't confuse things... lol I'm up for either, tho. Could use some more input...

If anyone's missed it, please see my post above - it's important.

Menu #3 looks better.

I love skirt steak (on Menu #2) but I hafta wonder about the prices here. There regular menu has it for $27. Twenty seven dollars for a skirt steak?????? Thats about the cheapest cut you can get. Unless they have some waitress serve it and then do a striptease I can't see spending that.

Menu #3 does look better...

As for "skirt" steak, doesn't that imply a lapdance?

Ah, prices are prices - I saw on TV some exclusive celebrity restaurant in NYC had mac-and-cheese for $55 (it had truffles in it, but still!) ...as long as the food and service, and especially COMPANY are good, that's all that matters to me. And hell, even the food and service don't have to be good: The shithole in Somerset was the worst place we've ever eaten probably, yet besides La Veranda (the best), it's the most-talked about as having had a fun time at.

Either 2 or 3 is fine with me, sweetie. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's much appreciated.

Hey, we could always go to Ol Man Rafferty's for a cheap night.
